When I Die Just Let Me Go To Texas

Ed Bruce


Tom: A

       A                   D
When I die I may not go to heaven
A               E                A
I don't know if they let cowboys in
        A                       D
If they don't just let me go to Texas
       A           E             A
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

A                           D
New York couldn't hold my attention
A            E                A
Detroit City couldn't sing my song
     A                              D
If tomorrow finds me busted flat in Dallas
        A              E                   A
I won't care 'cause at least I'll know I'm home

       A                   D
When I die I may not go to heaven
A               E                A
I don't know if they let cowboys in
        A                       D
If they don't just let me go to Texas
       A           E             A
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been

    A                                    D
I'd ride through all of hell and half of Texas
        A                  E                A
Just to hear some steel guitar and a cowboy song
    A                                 D
The beer just ain't as cold in old Milwaukee
          A           E               A
My body's here but my soul's in San Antone

       A                   D
When I die I may not go to heaven
A               E                A
I don't know if they let cowboys in
        A                       D
If they don't just let me go to Texas
       A           E             A
'Cause Texas is as close as I've been
